Charging the HyLite's 14.4V Lithium-ion battery uses over 8 times less mains power than many corded
vacuum cleaners need during use (per year)
We talk about how much power the HyLite uses because it’s important to us. Our aim with cordless products
has always been to deliver fantastic cleaning performance that rivals that of corded products – without the high
energy consumption that many of them rely on.
The maximum amount of power that a corded vacuum can use is 900watts, according to European Energy
consumption directive 2017. If you use a 900w corded vacuum for 20 minutes, you’re using 300wh (watts/
hour is worked out by dividing the wattage by the amount of time it’s used for). The HyLite is cordless, so we
worked out how much wattage would be needed to fully charge the battery so that it could be used for the
same amount of time – 20 minutes. The HyLite uses just 34.6wh to provide 20 minutes of runtime. That means it
uses over 8 times (8.6 times, to be precise) less mains power than an average corded vacuum cleaner that uses
900w.
